I Decided To Walk Home.
I Was Kicking A Pebble For Entertainment Until I Lost It.
I Heard A Voice Call, "Hey! Kiara!"
There I Saw Cheyenne My Best Friend From K-3
Hope Called Me On Her Cell-Phone Because She Got A Ride Home.
"Oh My Gosh! Hold On Getting A Call!"
"Hey Kiara!" Hope Said.
"Hey Can I Call You Back?" I Asked.
"Why?" Hope Asked.
"Because Guess Who's Here?" I Screamed.
"Who?" She Asked A Little Puzzled.
"Cheyenne! You Know Who Moved Right Before 4th Grade?" I Was Screaming It All.
"Wait!-" Jennifer Interrupted Hope.
"Is That Hope!?"
"Ya," I Said.
"Can I Say Hi?" She Asked.
"Uh Sure," I Said.
I Kinda Went Away So They Could Have A Private Conversation.
Then I Heard Cheyenne Say "Thanks! Bye!"
I Turned.
"So? What Are You Doing Here?" I Wondered.
"I Moved Here! Isn't That Great?" She Screamed As If She Was Going To Eat A 12 Foot Tall Stack Of Pixie Sticks.
She's My Best Friend In The World I Couldn't Make Up My Mind About That More Quicker Than Saying Cheese.
"Yes! You Can't Believe How Much I Missed You! I Never Had Anyway To Get In Touch With You!"
I Screamed.
I Wanted To Cry. I Dunno If I Was Happy Or Just I Hated How Much I Hadn't Gotten To See Her.
"When We Go To The Hotel-"
I Stopped Her, "Did Hope Say You Could Go Too!?"
"Ya Is That Bad?"
"No! It's Good!" I Laughed.
We Stood There For A While Til' Finally She Said, "Well See Ya At School
Tomorrow."
"Okay," I Continued, "Bye Cheyenne But Wait Call Me!"
I Handed Her My Phone Number That Was On A Pink Post-It.
I "Knuckled" Her As If It Was The Most Important Thing Of My Life.
I Wanted To Hug Her But I Thought Maybe Tomorrow Would Be Better.
That Night I Had Much Trouble Getting To Sleep.
I Had A Dream All Three Of Us [Hope,Cheyenne,And Myself] Were At The Hotel There Was This Man Following Us The Whole Time Until The Power Went Out And We Locked Our Hotel Door We Heard A Claw Noise On The Door And Someone Was Threatening Us And Screaming At Us To Get Out.
My Mom Was Shaking Me.
"Hun, Maybe You Should Stay Home Today You Have A Fever Of Uh-Hundred And Three Degrees," My Mom Started.
"Mom, Did Cheyenne Really Move Back?" I Asked Her That Because I Had Often Dreamed Of Her Coming Back But It Never Was True.
She Smiled, "Yes, She Called For You But You Were Out Cold Before Dinner." She Said In A Silly Voice.
I Smiled.
She Handed Me A Tray With Oatmeal,Orange Juice,And Applesauce.
I Didn't Eat The Applesauce But I Finished The Rest And Soon I Was In Another Deep Sleep.
I Woke Up At Six P.M. That Day The Room Felt Like It Was Burning 126 Degrees!
I Didn't Dare To Sit Up Because I Was Going To Become Cold Without My Blanket.
My Dogs Were Lying On My Feet And There Was A Second Tray On The Little Coffee Table Beside Me.
It Still Had Heat Over It So I Pulled Myself Up.
It Was A Dinner I Could Tell Usually For Lunch I'd Have A Sandwich Or Something.
My Stomach Hurt Really Bad So I Stuffed Potato And Chicken In My Mouth.
My Stomach Began To Feel A Little Better.
There Was Hot Cocoa And Hi-C.
I Drank The Hot Cocoa And Left The Hi-C For Someone To Have.
The Cocoa Felt So Good To Have In My Mouth.
It Began To Get Cold.
"Hey Mom," I Faintly Called, "What Time Is It?"
She Didn't Answer So I Put Together The Pieces Together And Guessed She Was Gone.
I Felt Like Having Something Warm So I Got Up And Went Upstairs. I Come To Find My Mom Hurled Over On The Couch,She's Coughing Really Bad.
I Got Her A Glass Of Water She Drank It But It Didn't Do Much.
She Got Up And Went To A Drawer She Got Out Her Inhaler.
She Breathed Into It Over And Over Again.
Finally, Her Last Breath Into The Inhaler.
I Handed Her Water Again.
She Told Me She Had Cleaned Our Guinea Pig's Cage,Squeaky, She Is Allergic To Her But She Loves Her.
She Walked Away And So Did I.
I Went Back Into The Basement Where I Slept Every Night, I Sat Down On The Couch And Finished My Dinner.
I Knew It Would Be Really Hard To Get Asleep.
For The Rest Of The Day I Read And Watched T.V.
At About Two O'Clock A.M. I Got To Sleep.
It Was A Nice Dream This Time.
Me,Hope,And Cheyenne Were At The Hotel And Found Out The Ghosts Were Just To Make Money And They Were People Dressed Up They Gave Us Ice-Cream Because They Scared "Little Kids" And It Woulda Been Hard For Them To Sleep That Night If They Knew They Scared "Little Kids."
